Wow, I love pop out cards.
Just wondered where everyone gets the shape templates from. I have only dared do a square in the pop out!! Is it a kit you can buy or can they be downloaded. I LOVE the Christmas tree one!!

I didn't use any templates. Because all my cut outs in the popouts were symmetrical I freedrew them on one side of the fold and cut them out. I did see some template packs on create and craft and would imagine that most caft shops sell them but the ones I saw were very expensive. You could try making your own templates or get a book from library with some in and copy them or google it.

Gorgeous cards everyone.
Abusybee - fantastic selection, its hard to choose a favourite but I think mine is the last one - I love the green xmas tree paper.
Krystaltips - very pretty, really clever idea to put a tag in the centre. I think I have got those embellishments, are they the dovecraft fantasy ones? I got the papers too, but I haven't used eithet yet as I'm nnot sure what to do with them!
Cazarol - I had a go at pop out cards ages ago and I too just drew the shape for the centre. The price they charge for templates is ridiculous. There's probably loads you can download for free. I don't have a printer so its not much help for me.

Thanks so much Polly and Melissa, I'm going to try and have a go at this. it sounded scary but the instructions make it look ok. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's creations!

Not actually sure if I have any A4 card so may have to get some!

Krystaltips and abusybee, brilliant pop out cards. Feeling very nervous now as there's no way mine will be as good as yours...
